Thusa & Jack's Wedding Celebration

Last Saturday night we shot Thusa and Jack’s wedding celebration. Right from the beginning everyone made us feel like part of the family. Thusa and Jack are a smart, handsome, charismatic and loving couple who will be successful in life.

The food was amazing and the five level cake was adorned with a topper which included the bride and groom as well as two small dogs (they have two pet dachshunds).

Jamie Tibbetts (510-326-2075) was the DJ and did a great job keeping just the right kind of music going. Connie, Thusa's sister, made the wonderful flower arrangements.

We had parked in a nearby underground garage which, unbeknown to us, locked up tight for the night! We wandered around lugging our camera gear until finding a Marriott Hotel to stay the night until we could get our car out of the garage in the morning. (I gotta start paying attention to parking garage warning signs!)

By the end of the night we started getting very creative with the cameras. By bouncing the external flash off the ceiling, dragging the shutter at a slow speed, and rotating the camera we got some great shots of the dancing. The background lighting was perfect and with the flash freezing the foreground subjects the photographs really captured the mood on the dance floor! (Everything always seems a bit blurry after a long night of fun and drinks!)

We had a great time and enjoyed being part of a wonderful family celebration. Thank you Thusa and Jack!
